Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I got this cooking at Giant Robot SF. We let a little of the news out, and here it is. It's a videogame art show. We did a Game Over show before, but this is something next level. Game play. Read about it here. Check out the above photo. It's definitely Saelee Oh. We'll make this happen for everyone to play at GR in LA as well.

Dehara's figures look cool. Any way you handle them and shoot them, they always look cool. This photo is post Deharavath 2. See Dehara and Yoko blur in the back ground? It's early still. They look a little bored. Things in this sequence of photos are out of order. This one is at the beginning of spot #2.
This one is really late in the night. Philly cheesesteak on Housten. Dehara was in fine form.

Dehara’s figures look cool. Any way you handle them and shoot them, they always look cool. This photo is post Deharavath 2. See Dehara and Yoko blur in the back ground? It’s early still. They look a little bored. Things in this sequence of photos are out of order. This one is at the beginning of spot #2. This one is really late in the night. Philly cheesesteak on Housten. Dehara was in fine form. A sake bomb. I caught the bombs going in the beer. This took place at spot #2 in the Lower East Side called Satsko. Strange spelling for a Japanese name. The place is cool, and a Totoro video on! Monstre Hero from Florida! They make great toys all by hand. More Dehara shenanigans Deharavath. David was tired, but you’d never know. Carlo McCormick, his little man, and Horvath. The little man was in awe that he met David. David look a little tired here. That’s what happens when you go across country and work like a dog, it catches up.

[nggallery id=62] Deharavath 2 February 7 through March 4, 2009 Reception: Saturday, February 7, 6:30 Giant Robot Gallery 437 East 9th Street Between 1st Ave. & Ave. A, in the East Village New York, New York 10009 (212) 674-GRNY (4769) Giant Robot is proud to host Deharavath 2, a group art show featuring the work of Yukinori Dehara, David Horvath, and Sun-Min Kim. Dehara’s hand-painted clay depictions of debauched salarymen, brutalized gangsters, happy monsters, and other unique figures stand about 5-inches tall. Although the pieces are detailed and glossy, the subtle and intentional flaws of the Japanese artist’s self-described “crummy” style project more humanity than horror, and are oddly sympathetic. His work has garnered a cult of collectors around the world, and is celebrated in books, stickers, and other merchandise. For this show, his subject will be “otaku.” David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim are best known for creating UglyDolls, the indie plush dolls that have gained a rabid worldwide following and sparked a movement of cool handmade toys. For this show, Sun-Min is preparing otaku-themed paintings and David is drawing a one-of-a-kind storybook–each page sold separately! (Parents and guardians should note that this is not an UglyDolls event, and will contain works intended for a somewhat more mature audience.)
